Dirt Piling for House Elevation

My mother informed me that they just bought two trucks of dirt for $20 each. They are piling the elevation while we have no funds yet to start constructing the slab of our house. Hopefully we could save before the month ends so after the slab we could start working for the flooring and tilings as well as finishing the walls.

Elevation Piling

There are still a lot of things to do before our house will be ready for occupancy which means we still need a lot of money for it to materialized. We are hoping that we could done it as soon possible before rainy season came.

Blocking my Cousin’s House

We have not much space to build a house that’s why we decided to make our house two-story but we are not going to build the second floor right away, we are going to build our house little by little. So we are planning to make the first floor first while we have money, so sooner we have to stop the construction because of financial constraints.

Constructing a House

My cousin’s house is cannot be seen anymore when they already built the kitchen wall, this is just for the first floor what more if there’s already second floor?  Sad to say we can’t do anything because our land is just limited so we have to use to the extent, anyway they where already informed before they built their house but they still build it forward and not a little backward.

DIY Storage Shed

As they tore down our kitchen when they started doing the lay-out plan, some of our belongings were exposed and no place to keep. My father constructed a temporary shelter for them in front of our house, the sacks of cements were also placed in the shelter for safety.

Building Materials

It was just lucky that my aunt has a store in front of us so the shelter was not exposed in the street where a lot of people and cars are passing by everyday.

Home Plans and Elevation

They started constructing our house by making higher elevation, my parents made sure that our house is elevated well to avoid water coming inside our house when there’s flood. We are near the fields and the irrigation so when there’s heavy rains the water from the canals and irrigation flooded in our backyard.

House Elevation

Creating higher elevation of your houses is very helpful when heavy rains and flood came, it will help you avoid the water from coming in and will help you to avoid cracks on your floor when summer came.
